Daniel Russell knows how to find the answers to questions you can't get to with a simple Google query. In his weekly Search Research column, Russell issues a search challenge, then follows up later in the week with his solution—using whatever search technology and methodology fits the bill. This week's challenge: Who's the artist?

I was sorting through some photos I happen to take a while ago and it happened again. I found this extraordinary picture of a mural. It's one that I really like, but I can't figure out where or when or who or what it's all about. Arrgh!

As often happens with memories (and this is key in many difficult search tasks), I DO recall a couple of odd associated facts:

This picture was taken somewhere in the south

Near where this photo was taken, I remember a high school that had an interesting cultural mix. In particular, there were two languages spoken at this school (one was English).

Can you help me out? The challenges here range from the simple to the complex.

Where was this photograph taken (I'm looking for the street address or at least the nearest intersection.)?

Daniel M. Russell studies the way people search and research—an anthropologist of search, if you will. You can read more from Russell on his SearchReSearch blog, and stay tuned for his weekly challenges (and answers) here on Lifehacker.
